When I tell you that seeing a picture like this in a 90s magazine would have blown my fucking mind... You can literally see the hair follicles on her legs. Like you should when your leg hair is darker than your skin tone... 🧵

Experts 'explaining' when & why officers are trained to discharge their weapons is meaningless & not universal. Law enforcement officers can also go to "Killology" seminars where they are taught that preserving their own life is more important than de-escalating a situation

I know it's not the time for jokes but Stephen Miller writing "flaming the flames" instead of "fanning the flames" is hilarious. We are truly living in the dumbest timeline...

Matt is doing such great work. His honesty, empathy, & sincere desire to understand people & make meaningful change are cornerstones of this work. & it's helping him to create some of the most thought-provoking, hopeful content about the hellscape we're currently living in
i joined matt bernstein to talk to ashley st clair, a mother to one of elon musks babies, who’s since exited the far right movement. we spent this time grilling her talking to her about her past bigotry and what made her change

What the actual fuck. I've already cried today about my friend having to tell her son to carry his birth certificate in case he gets stopped by ICE... I know this is not about me or my feelings but the last 18 months have been relentless in how exceptionally shitty they've been

Btw I am 100% for couples going to counseling. But marriage bootcamps overseen by someone who lied about a worm eating his brain in order to get out of paying child support? Nah
Marriage bootcamps run by the federal government don't sound at all like some nazi shit

Sometimes I hear people my age talking about what they were doing in their teens & 20s & I get so depressed because I'm reminded that my experiences at those ages was not normal. It's lonely as hell knowing that I'll never be able to truly identify with someone about what this feels like

You will know you’ve found your people when you experience them in difficult moments and realize honesty doesn’t have to be brutal and love doesn’t have to be tough.

Yesterday, I lost my temper & called someone on here a 'fucking psycho" & I feel really bad about it today. One of my triggers is people acting like they don't understand what I'm saying (when they clearly do) & then accusing me of being stupid or a bad person because of what they think I mean. 🧵

I don't owe anyone an explanation for why I do the things I do. But since I was asked why I don't "follow back" here's why: I never said I would do this. It's not a requirement. If you are following me because you are just looking for people to follow you back, that's probably not going to happen. 🧵

This all started because I commented that a thread I wrote about traditional gender roles sounded like it didn't apply to this person. Now I'm getting called out for, I don't know, I guess them not understanding (or not even reading) what I actually wrote but being too deep in now to admit it.
